Chapter 556 Demoting officials and cutting power 4
"My lord, could it be that the emperor has already..." The old housekeeper was surprised and didn't know what to say, but Xiao Jingyao had already guessed what he was thinking, nodded and smiled: "Yes, he has already made a decision, just waiting for an opportunity to tell the world That's all!"

When Wei Zijin and the old butler heard the words, they fell into a long silence.

Xiao Heng has not established a crown prince for a long time, and now Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao has been executed, Concubine Duan has also fallen out of favor, Zhongshu Ling Lu Ziliang has also been suspended, for the stability of the Dayin Dynasty, Xiao Heng will not hesitate for too long on the matter of establishing a crown prince!

And Xiao Zhao's attempt to plot rebellion also reminded Xiao Heng that if he hadn't informed the world earlier about the candidate for the crown prince, the forces in the court and China would still be ready to move, and the people's hearts would not be stable!
The people in the entire imperial capital also heard that King Xuanwu was executed for colluding with the Northern Wei Dynasty in an attempt to rebel, and there was a lot of discussion. They applauded the wise move of the emperor secretly, and even praised Shen Rui, the minister who personally investigated the matter thoroughly and did not fear power. stop!
If in the hearts of the common people, Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao is a hero who has won all battles and is worthy of their admiration, then now there is another person who is not afraid of power in their hearts, that is the civil servant Shen Rui!

However, the people's admiration for the emperor's wise move spread to the palace, which did not make Xiao Heng feel better.

Ever since King Xiao Zhao of Xuanwu was beheaded, Xiao Heng was ill and did not go to the morning court for several days. Doctor Guanglu Fan Qing and Prime Minister Han Yunzhi personally went to persuade them. Request to meet the Holy Majesty!

The court was filled with a gloomy atmosphere, and all the officials, civil and military, were unavoidably panicked, worried that the emperor would fall ill because his brother Xiao Zhao was executed, and worried that the emperor would tell them not to be sick on purpose, but in fact he was forcing them to die. The emperor beheaded Xiao Zhao and was dissatisfied!
Just when all the civil and military officials were speculating about the emperor's intention of not being sick, the imperial decree issued by Xiao Heng shocked the entire government and the public.

Shang Shu Ling Shen Rui, who found out that Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao intended to rebel, made great contributions to the stability of the court, and should have been rewarded. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually relegated him because of his unfounded charges of lax command.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, there was an uproar among the officials, some were waiting to see Shen Rui's jokes, and some were defending Shen Rui, but Shen Rui, who was relegated, received the decree very calmly, as if he had expected such a He didn't even ask to see the emperor again.

Xiao Heng couldn't bear to listen to Fan Qing's admonition from Doctor Guanglu, and he had made up his mind to demote Shen Rui from his official position as Shang Shuling.

Just when Prime Minister Han Yunzhi was planning to lead a group of ministers to speak to the emperor on Shen Rui's behalf, another imperial decree came down, which was actually aimed at the Wei family!

Wei Ziyi's title of Hussar General was withdrawn and replaced with the title of General Yangwei, and the original Fubo General Lu Guangzhi was promoted to General of the Fuguo, not only overwhelming Wei Ziyi, but also divided part of the Wei family's military power.

After the ministers were shocked, they soon understood that the emperor was furious because Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao was executed, so he directed his anger on Shen Shangshu and the Wei family who thoroughly investigated Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao!

Without Shen Rui's thorough investigation, and Wei Ziyi's school lieutenant Yang Ce, who asked the emperor to execute King Xuanwu on the grounds of dissatisfaction with the army, then Xiao Zhao might only end up being dispatched...
